There might actually be an issue ...
I can count that there's at least 6 mainstream NAND flash memory manufacturers and eMMC interface is a JEDEC standard so any manufacturers can make it ...
Even after all that demand for NAND flash memory is skyrocketing but the issue doesn't only affect Nintendo, it goes for every device manufacturer as well ... (It's thanks to the demand of NAND/DRAM that Samsung recently became the largest chip manufacturer and China desperately wants to to produce their own NAND flash memory manufacturing technology so that they can rely less on foreign markets.)
Edit: It's about to get much worse since Toshiba is probably going out of business very soon ...
